  • It's been a long time since I've been in Anthropology class, but this isn't something we were taught academically. Cultural Anthro is all theory-based, academics get paid to publish theory arguments. Imo, biologically, women carried babies, men didn't, there would have been associated cultural roles to accomodate this as successfully as possible. The idea that it's popular theory this meant men hunted and women gathered is just sensationalist. It's niether competely wrong nor completely right. There are elements of both throughout many cultures. It's the idea that it's all or nothing is wrong.

  • It goes "do you speak-a my language?", just had to say it.

  • Saggy Hammerpants. My sister wore them way back, looked like diaperpants back then too.

  • This is it, regarding Canada at least. I took a course called HIstory of Canadian Education, the education system in Canada was created because of rising hooliganism in cities, as rural couples moved into cities and took factory jobs, and left their children home to fend for themselves.

  • Just installed Voyager. Thanks!

  • I can't log in to sdf with either Jerboa or Connect.

  • Sure, Im just familiar with those two from maybe 20 years prior. When I first heard it used to refer to bball or athletics in general, first thing that came to my mind was cocaine use, injecting is pretty intense I hear. I knew a guy but never have have tried myself.

  • I missed the balling is living transformation, at one time balling here either meant having sex or injecting cocaine...oh wait

  • Former alcoholic here, although I abhor the term, Ill use it for simplicity. Imo, excess drinking is a symptom of other problems. I quit because I didnt want to die like that which is the inevitable outcome. But I had to get my other problems dealt with in order to quit, because for a while, like 10 years, I don't think I cared, so I needed my doctors help with that. Mainly, I didnt want my grandkids to remember me like that, dying of alcohol-related problems, nor did I want my spouse to die like that, bc we were drinking partners. So I had to get her to quit too, which eventually came down to alcohol or me, so she chose me.

  • My account might be worth $50k? Any offers here? 1/2 price fire sale here on Lemmy, only $27k!

  • Well, I don't think Carrie Fisher was wearing a bra during her brief apperance in the Star Wars special, so that was something.

  • The Highlander sequels were pretty bad.

  • When I was young, I read "Call of the Wild" and "White Fang".

    Littlest Hobo was my fav show, about a dog helping people.

  • Paintings make by my grandkids.

  • Even as late as the early 00's, spouse and I went to see John Delancie. Spouse bought a signed photo of him as Q, but he also came out from behind his desk and put his arm around her so I could take a pic. Maybe because it wasnt very busy, just casual. A number of years later we "tried" to see Will Shatner, but it was crazy busy, surrounded by security. Just didnt seem worth it.
